2. Description of the Related Art A non-single-crystal solar cell made of amorphous silicon or the like has a higher degree of freedom in selecting a substrate than a crystalline solar cell, and can be easily formed on a translucent (transparent) glass substrate at a relatively low temperature. It has the feature that it can be formed in. In general, an amorphous solar cell is a so-called amorphous solar cell in which a plurality of solar cell unit cells including a transparent front electrode layer, a non-single-crystal photoelectric conversion unit and a back electrode layer are formed on a transparent glass substrate, and these are electrically connected to each other. It is configured as a solar cell sub-module. In order to physically or chemically protect each unit cell including its back electrode layer, such a solar cell sub-module is protected by a protective film via a sealing resin on its back side, so-called solar cell sub-module. It has been commercialized as a module.

In general, protection (sealing) of a solar cell sub-module by a protective film is performed by mounting a sheet of a sealing resin (for example, an ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer containing a curing agent) on the back surface of the solar cell sub-module. And a protective film having a larger size than the glass substrate is placed thereon, and the sealing resin is softened and melted to complete the curing, whereby the protective film is attached to the back surface of the solar cell module. Has been done by

Conventionally, such a sealing of a solar cell sub-module with a sealing resin sheet / protective film has been performed under heat and pressure for the purpose of preventing air bubbles from being mixed.
The process from the softening / melting of the sealing resin to the completion of the curing is continuously performed in the same vacuum laminating apparatus. However, the vacuum laminating apparatus has no processing capacity to seal a plurality of solar cell sub-modules at once, and is very expensive.

[0005] In recent years, in a vacuum laminating apparatus, there has been no need to perform heat-pressing treatment until the curing of the sealing resin is completed.
In the process of curing the sealing resin after the completion of melting, the solar cell sub-module is transferred from the vacuum laminating apparatus to the oven, and the curing of the sealing resin is completed in the oven.

[0006]

However, in any of the above sealing methods, the sealing resin is melted by heating and becomes a fluid state, so that it is cast and extended from the glass substrate region. (Protrudes). In order to provide the product as a solar cell module product, it is necessary to cut out (trim) the molten extension portion of the sealing resin together with an extra portion of the protective film. This trimming is performed by using a cutter or the like, but conventionally, the protective film is partially peeled off during trimming, or it is difficult to cut off the protective film by aligning along the end surface of the glass substrate. Yes, it has reduced the productivity and yield of solar cell module products.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a solar cell module product which can perform trimming efficiently without reducing the productivity and yield of the solar cell module product. It is in.

[0008]

The inventor of the present invention has conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, the extension of the sealing resin extending from the glass substrate due to the melting of the sealing resin has been described. It has been found that trimming can be performed efficiently by trimming with a cutter or the like under conditions in which the extension of the sealing resin is exposed to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of the sealing resin. The present invention is based on this finding.

That is, according to the present invention, a sheet of a sealing resin that can be cured through softening / melting by heating is provided on the back surface of a solar cell sub-module having a plurality of unit cells integrated on a light-transmitting glass substrate. And a protective film having a size larger than that of the glass substrate is placed thereon, and the sealing resin is softened and melted to complete the curing, whereby the protective film is adhered to the back surface of the solar cell sub-module, thereby forming a solar cell. In the method for manufacturing a module, the extension portion of the sealing resin extending from the glass substrate due to the melting of the sealing resin together with a corresponding protective film portion, and the extension portion of the sealing resin is sealed. There is provided a method for manufacturing a solar cell module, which comprises cutting off under conditions where the resin is subjected to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of the resin.

In the present invention, cutting can be performed on a hot plate heated to a temperature higher than the softening point of the sealing resin, or a cutting tool heated to a temperature higher than the softening point of the sealing resin (for example, , Cutter).

In one embodiment of the present invention, after the curing of the sealing resin is completed in a vacuum heating / compression bonding apparatus,
Take out the solar cell module from the vacuum heating and pressing device,
Excision can be performed.

In a second and preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the sealing resin is partially cured in a vacuum heating and pressing apparatus, the solar cell module is removed from the vacuum heating and pressing apparatus and is then separated in another heating apparatus. The curing of the encapsulating resin can be completed under heating, followed by excision.
In this embodiment, it is preferable that the excision be performed after the solar cell is taken out from the another heating device, while the sealing resin does not decrease to a temperature lower than its softening temperature.

In the third aspect of the present invention, after the sealing resin is partially cured in a vacuum heating and pressure bonding apparatus,
Take out the solar cell module from the vacuum heating and pressing device,
The excision may be performed, after which the curing of the sealing resin may be completed under heating in another heating device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. Throughout the figures, similar elements
The same reference numerals are used.

As described above, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a solar cell module by sealing a solar cell sub-module with a sealing resin / protective film laminate. After being trimmed, it is provided as a solar cell module product. First, an example of a solar cell module product manufactured according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The solar cell module product 10 shown in FIG.
Comprises a solar cell sub-module having a plurality of solar cell unit cells 12 integrated on a translucent (transparent) glass substrate 11. Light is incident on the solar cell sub-module from the glass substrate 11 side.

Each unit cell 12 includes, in order from the glass substrate 11, a transparent front electrode layer 121, a non-single-crystal silicon-based photoelectric conversion unit 122, and a back electrode layer 123.

The transparent front electrode layer 121 formed on the glass substrate 11 can be composed of a transparent conductive oxide layer such as an ITO film, a SnO ₂ film, or a ZnO film. The transparent front electrode layer 121 may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure, and any of them can be formed by a known vapor deposition method such as an evaporation method, a CVD method, and a sputtering method. It is preferable that the surface of the transparent front electrode layer 121 has a surface texture structure including fine irregularities.
By forming such a texture structure on the surface of the transparent front electrode layer 121, light incident on the non-single-crystal silicon-based photoelectric conversion unit 122 is emitted to the outside of the cell 12 without contributing to photoelectric conversion. Can be suppressed.

Normally, the non-single-crystal silicon-based photoelectric conversion units 122 formed on the transparent front electrode layer 121 are not shown, but are each a p-type non-single-crystal silicon-based semiconductor formed on the transparent front electrode layer 121. And a non-single-crystal silicon-based thin film photoelectric conversion layer and an n-type non-single-crystal silicon-based semiconductor layer. All of the p-type semiconductor layer, the photoelectric conversion layer 42, and the n-type semiconductor layer can be formed by a plasma CVD method. The p-type silicon-based semiconductor layer can be formed of silicon or a silicon alloy such as silicon carbide or silicon germanium, and is doped with a p-conductivity determining impurity atom such as boron or aluminum. The photoelectric conversion layer formed on the p-type semiconductor layer is formed of a non-single-crystal silicon-based semiconductor material. Examples of such a material include silicon (e.g., silicon hydride) as an intrinsic semiconductor, silicon carbide, and silicon germanium. Silicon alloys and the like are included. If the photoelectric conversion function is sufficiently provided, a weak p-type or weak n-type silicon-based semiconductor material containing a trace amount of impurities for determining conductivity type can also be used. When this photoelectric conversion layer is amorphous, it is usually formed to a thickness in the range of 0.1 to 10 μm. The n-type silicon-based semiconductor layer formed over the photoelectric conversion layer can be formed using silicon or a silicon alloy such as silicon carbide or silicon germanium,
An n-type impurity determining impurity atom such as phosphorus or nitrogen is doped.

The back electrode 123 formed on the upper photoelectric conversion unit 122 is formed of a metal material. The back electrode layer 122 not only has a function as an electrode, but also has a function as an electrode from the glass substrate 11 to the photoelectric conversion unit 122. The incident light that reaches the back electrode layer 122 is reflected to reflect the light into the photoelectric conversion unit 1.
Since it is preferable to also have a function as a reflection layer for re-entering the light into the inside 22, it is preferable to use a metal material having high light reflectance such as a silver-based material such as silver or silver alloy. The back electrode layer 123 can be formed by an evaporation method, a sputtering method, or the like.

The transparent front electrode layer 121 and the non-single-crystal silicon-based photoelectric conversion unit 122 described above are formed as a large-area thin film on the glass substrate 11 and then divided into a plurality of thin films using laser processing or the like. And a plurality of unit cells 1
2 are formed simultaneously. These plurality of unit cells 12
They are electrically connected in series or in parallel to form an integrated structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the peripheral region 111 of the glass substrate 11 is subjected to removal of the transparent front electrode thin film, the silicon thin film, etc., which have been applied to manufacture the cell 12, by means such as sandblasting. And the glass surface is exposed. Since the glass surface is exposed in the peripheral region of the glass substrate 11 as described above, the adhesive strength with the sealing resin described later is improved.

The back surface of the solar cell sub-module described above is protected and sealed by a protective film 14 via a sealing resin layer (adhesive layer) 13.

The sealing resin used in the present invention is a resin which can be cured by being softened and melted by heating. The sealing resin seals each unit cell formed on the glass substrate 11 and firmly secures the protective film 14. It is a resin that can be bonded. Examples of such resins include, for example, heat of ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene / vinyl acetate / triallyl isocyanurate (EVAT), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), and polyisobutylene (PIB). EVA is a plastic resin, and is preferably EVA from the viewpoint of adhesiveness to the glass substrate 11 and cost. Needless to say, a curing agent (crosslinking agent) is blended with these thermoplastic resins in order to crosslink and cure them. Preferred examples of such a curing agent include organic peroxides such as 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-dihydroperoxide. The organic peroxide cross-linking agent may generate radicals when heated to a temperature of 100 ° C. or higher to cross-link the sealing resin.

The protective film 14 protects the solar cell submodule placed in an outdoor environment, and is preferably excellent in moisture resistance and water resistance, and is preferably insulating. Such a protective film 14 is made of a fluororesin film such as a polyvinyl fluoride film (for example, Tedlar film (registered trademark)) or polyethylene terephthalate (PE).
T) What is necessary is just to have an organic film such as a film on the side in contact with the sealing resin layer 13, and may have a single-layer structure or a laminated structure of the organic film. further,
The protective film 14 may have a structure in which a metal foil made of aluminum or the like is sandwiched between these organic films. Since a metal foil such as an aluminum foil has a function of improving moisture resistance and water resistance, by using the protective film 14 having such a structure, the back surface of the solar cell sub-module can be more effectively protected from moisture. Can be. As the organic film, a fluororesin film is preferable.

The sealing resin layer 13 and the protective film 14
Has been trimmed along the peripheral end surface of the glass substrate 11.

Next, an example of a method for manufacturing a solar cell according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, FIG.
In FIG. X, the integrated structure of the solar cell unit cells 12 described with reference to FIG.

First, according to the present invention, a sheet of a sealing resin which can be cured through softening and melting by heating and a protective film having a size larger than the glass substrate are placed on the back surface of the solar cell sub-module. And softens the sealing resin.
By completing the curing through melting, a protective film is adhered to the back surface of the solar cell sub-module to produce a solar cell module. The solar cell module is subjected to a predetermined trimming process at an appropriate stage, and is provided as a solar cell module product.

Usually, in order to soften and melt the sealing resin, the sealing resin sheet and the protective film and the solar cell sub-module are pressure-bonded while heating under vacuum in a vacuum heating / pressure bonding device (a so-called vacuum laminating device). I do.

As a vacuum laminating apparatus to be used, a known apparatus such as a double vacuum laminating apparatus can be used. For example, the vacuum laminating apparatus 30 shown in FIG. 2 includes a lower chamber 32 and an upper chamber 31 that is opened and closed by a driving mechanism (not shown) with respect to the lower chamber 32.

The upper chamber 31 has a diaphragm 311 whose peripheral portion is hermetically fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the upper chamber 31.
Is provided. An upper exhaust hole 312 communicating with a space separated by the diaphragm 311 is formed on one side wall of the upper chamber 31.
An exhaust suction pump (not shown) is connected to 12.
On the other hand, a mounting plate 321 on which the object to be laminated is mounted is provided in the lower chamber 32, and a heater 323 for heating at the time of lamination is built therein. Further, a lower exhaust hole 3 is provided on one side wall of the lower chamber 32.
The lower exhaust hole 322 is connected to an exhaust pump (not shown).

In order to seal the solar cell sub-module 20 having the plurality of cells 120 integrated on the glass substrate 11 using the vacuum laminating apparatus 30, first,
As shown in FIG. 2, the solar cell sub-module 20 is mounted on the mounting board 321 in the lower chamber 32 so that the glass substrate 11 is in contact with the mounting board 321. Next, a sealing resin sheet 13 'is provided on the back surface (the upper surface in FIG. 2) of the solar cell sub-module 20, and a protective film 14 is provided thereon.
Is mounted to form a laminated body. The sealing resin sheet 13 ′ is substantially the same as or slightly larger than the size of the glass substrate 11, and the protective film 14 is slightly larger than the size of the glass substrate 11.

Thereafter, the upper chamber 31 is closed with respect to the lower chamber 32, the pressure in the upper chamber 31 and the lower chamber 32 is reduced, and gas contained in the sealing resin sheet 13 'is removed. Release the depressurized state. Then, the diaphragm 311 provided in the upper chamber 31 expands downward as shown in FIG.
3 is pressed into contact with the object to be laminated placed on the placing board 321 heated by 3. Thus, the object to be laminated is heated and pressed by the mounting board 321 and the diaphragm 311 so that the sealing resin sheet 13 ′ is softened and melted, and the protective film 14 and the back surface of the solar cell sub-module 20 are adhered to each other. provide.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the thermocompression bonding by the vacuum laminating apparatus is performed until the curing of the sealing resin is completed. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the thermocompression bonding is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the curing temperature of the sealing resin and lower than the decomposition temperature of the sealing resin. For example, in the case of an EVA sealing resin containing a normal organic peroxide, this thermocompression bonding is performed at a temperature of about 120 ° C. or more and less than 170 ° C. for about 5 minutes to about 12
Can be performed for 0 minutes. The laminate (solar cell module) after the curing of the sealing resin is completed is taken out of the vacuum laminating apparatus 30 and subjected to a trimming process described in detail below to obtain a solar cell module product.

When removing the laminate from the vacuum laminating apparatus 30, the lower chamber 32 is released from the reduced pressure state, the diaphragm 311 expanded downward is contracted to its original state, and then the upper chamber 31 is raised. This can be performed by opening the vacuum laminating apparatus 30.

In the second (preferred) embodiment of the present invention, the heating and pressure bonding (lamination) by the vacuum laminating apparatus 30 is performed during the curing of the sealing resin, that is, after the curing of the sealing resin starts. Is terminated before curing is complete. That is, the sealing resin sheet 13 ′ is softened and melted by the heat and pressure bonding in the vacuum laminating apparatus, and starts to be hardened. However, while the hardening of the sealing resin is not completed, as described in the first embodiment, The laminate is taken out of the vacuum laminating apparatus 30. In the second embodiment, the conditions of the thermocompression bonding using the vacuum laminating apparatus 30 can be appropriately set according to the curing characteristics of the sealing resin to be used.
In this case, it is sufficient that about 5 to 10 minutes at 120 to 130 ° C. is sufficient.

Next, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the vacuum laminating apparatus 30 is used before the curing of the sealing resin is completed.
Laminate taken out from the product (because curing is not completed, it can be called a solar cell module intermediate)
Is transferred to a normal heating device (not shown) such as an oven, and heat-treated therein to complete the curing of the sealing resin. The curing conditions can be appropriately set according to the type of the sealing resin to be used. However, in the case of the above-mentioned ordinary EVA, at a temperature of about 140 ° C. or more (less than the decomposition temperature), the curing is performed for 10 minutes to 120 minutes. Can be done in minutes. In addition,
At the time of this heating, shrinkage of the sealing resin due to curing is so small as to be negligible. As described above, the solar cell module after the curing of the sealing resin is completed in another heating device is subjected to the trimming treatment of the present invention as described above to obtain a solar cell module product. According to this second aspect,
Since one laminated body does not occupy one vacuum laminating apparatus until the curing of the sealing resin is completed, it greatly contributes to improvement in productivity.

In a third aspect of the present invention, the second aspect
In the same manner as in the case of the embodiment, the heating / compression bonding (lamination) by the vacuum laminating device 30 is performed during the curing of the sealing resin.
That is, the process is terminated after the curing of the sealing resin is started but before the curing is completed, and the obtained solar cell module intermediate is taken out of the vacuum laminating apparatus 30. And
In the same manner as in the second embodiment, the solar cell module intermediate is transferred to another heating device to complete the curing of the sealing resin. In the third embodiment, the solar cell module intermediate is vacuum-laminated. After being removed from the device 30, the trimming process of the present invention is performed before transferring to another heating device. The solar cell module intermediate that has been subjected to the trimming process in this manner terminates the curing of the sealing resin in another heating device in the same manner as in the second embodiment to provide a solar cell module product. In the third embodiment, the same advantages as those of the second embodiment are obtained, and the trimming process is performed before reheating by another heating device. There is also the additional advantage that contamination of the heating device by the melt-extended portion from the heating device is avoided.

Now, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the solar cell module is taken out of the vacuum laminating apparatus 30 after the curing of the sealing resin is completed, and according to the second embodiment, the solar cell module is sealed by another heating device. A solar cell module that has been taken out of the heating device after the hardening of the sealing resin has been completed, and a solar cell module intermediate that has been taken out of the vacuum laminating device 30 during curing of the sealing resin according to the third embodiment. (In other words, the laminate immediately before the trimming) is slightly different in each case.
As shown in (1), the sealing resin extends from the periphery of the glass substrate 11 due to melting and casting of the sealing resin under heating and pressurization, and a portion 14 of the protection film extending from the glass substrate 11.
1, a melt-extended portion 131 is formed. In the present invention, the melt-extended portion 131 of the sealing resin is cut (trimmed) together with the extended portion 141 of the protective film 14.
At this time, the excision / trimming process is performed under a condition in which the extending portion 131 of the sealing resin is subjected to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of the sealing resin (less than the decomposition temperature of the sealing resin).
The specific temperature at the time of this trimming depends on the sealing resin to be used.
It can be performed at 0 ° C to 150 ° C. The trimming process can be performed using a normal cutting tool such as a cutter, and is usually performed along the peripheral end surface of the glass substrate 11.

According to the present invention, during the trimming process, the laminate can be heated to a temperature higher than the softening point of the sealing resin as a whole, for example, to a temperature higher than the softening point of the sealing resin. Alternatively, the laminate can be placed on a hot plate with the glass substrate facing down. Furthermore, trimming can be performed using a cutting tool such as a cutter heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of the sealing resin.
Also in this case, since the extending portion 131 of the sealing resin is in contact with the cutting tool heated to a predetermined temperature, the extending portion 131 is exposed to a temperature equal to or higher than the softening point of the sealing resin.

However, in the present invention, it is preferable that the trimming process is performed until the heated laminate is cooled to a temperature lower than the softening point of the sealing resin. For example, in the first embodiment, the trimming process is performed until the solar cell module taken out of the vacuum laminating apparatus is cooled to a temperature lower than the softening point of the sealing resin in the first embodiment. In the second aspect, the solar cell module taken out of the reheating device after curing of the sealing resin is cooled to a temperature lower than the softening point of the sealing resin for the solar cell module.
In the third aspect, the solar cell module intermediate taken out of the vacuum laminating apparatus during the curing of the sealing resin is performed until the intermediate is cooled to a temperature lower than the softening point of the sealing resin. Can be. In the present invention, the trimming process is preferably performed after the curing of the sealing resin is completed. The cured sealing resin is
Cutting with a cutting tool is easier than cutting resin that has not been completely cured.

By performing the trimming process according to the present invention in this manner, an unreasonable force is not applied to the sealing resin layer,
The extended portion 1 of the protective film smoothly and efficiently without partially peeling off the protective film or damaging necessary portions of the glass substrate 11, the protective film 14, and the sealing resin layer.
41 and the extension 131 of the sealing resin are cut off. Thus, a laminate in which the end surfaces of the sealing resin layer 13 and the protective film 14 are flush with the end surface of the glass substrate 11 as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained, and finally, as shown in FIG. A solar cell module product 10 is manufactured.

[0045]

As described above, according to the present invention, the trimming of the sealing resin can be performed smoothly and efficiently, so that the productivity and the yield of solar cell module products are improved.
